Energy in Parallel Plate, Cylindrical and Spherical Charged Capacitors. Online Calculator.

Online calculator for calculating the energy of the electrostatic field in a charged capacitor, helps you to calculate the energy in a charged flat (parallel plate), cylindrical and spherical capacitors. The calculator calculates and gives you a detailed solution. Units of measurement can include any SI prefixes. The calculator automatically converts one SI prefix to another.

Calculator calculates:
Energy in a charged flat (parallel plate) capacitor
Energy in a charged cylindrical capacitor.
Energy in a charged spherical capacitor.

Also, to calculate the energy of the electrostatic field of a charged (any) capacitor, you can use the calculator for calculating the energy of a charged capacitor .

Energy in a Charged Flat (Parallel Plate) Capacitor Calculator

Energy in a Charged Flat (Parallel Plate) Capacitor CalculatorA parallel plate capacitor consists of two parallel conducting plates separated by a dielectric, located at a small distance from each other.

Energy in a charged flat (parallel plate) capacitor determined by the formula, where

q - electric charge of one of the plates
ε0 – vacuum permittivity, ε0 = 8.85418781762039 × 10-12
ε – permittivity of dielectric
S - Area of one plate (it is assumed that the plates are the same)
d - the distance between the plates

The SI unit of energy W is joule (J).
